Gravity, while mounted, bug?

I've had this happen a few times since the last update, where I'll be riding my mount and certain contours in the landscape will function sort of like a "ramp", launching me into the air. Not a big deal, really. Except it's like I'm on the moon.. Both the upward and downward movement is almost in slow-motion. In one instance My character (still mounted) flew up into the air at least three times the height of my character & mount's combined height. Immersion breaking: definitely! lol.. Again, it's not really a "problem", just super strange.. I figured I'd let you know. Also, the terrain wasn't anything too extreme; lumpy-ish, I'd call it. The last two times it's happened I was in Summerset Isles. The very last time it happened was in the main city, when I rode too close to a pillar. The flair at the bottom of it was enough of a "ramp" to launch me. Also, it's not like riding a bike over a ramp, to deliberately catch some air. This is almost like a springboard in Super Mario Bros..

    Please ZOS don't fix it. Jumping to top of Craglorn (Belkarth) Wayshrine using those tiny walls near the road keeps me busy when waiting for pug trial groups from zone chat. :wink:

    But yeah, it was like this forever - jumping with a mount on uneven terrain always been wonky. More annoying to me is when you try to jump off the edge of some mountain, but then the mount just runs down and jumps after you hit the ground.

    This 'spring-boarding' thing is happening to me absent of any jumping. I'm just riding along and launched into the air. It just happened again to me, in Blackreach. I could see it being useful, I suppose, in specific circumstances.. But it seems too unpredictable to be "made use of". This only happens to me when it's completely unexpected; like getting launched into the air while riding through a city. Also to reiterate, it only happens to me while riding. I do have 10+ CP into the riding thing in the green whatever.. Also I have the 1st Assault passive.
